HOME-BAKERS MEASURE.

Application filed February This invention relates to a measure designedprimarily for the home bakers use, the object being" to provide ameasure in the form of a. scoop having separate compartments ofdifferent capacities whereby three accurate measurements of bulkmaterial can be effected. x

Many materials such as flour, sugar, butte-r, lard, etc., require alevel measure and when a quantity called for is-less than that of acupfulit cannot beaccurately measured in an ordinary measuring cup.

It is an object of the present invention to avoid the objectionsheretofore present in ordinary measuring devices by providing a measurehaving separate compartments which can be separately or simultaneouslyfilled with the same or different] materials. These compartments are ofsuch capacity as to hold the required amount of the principalingredients used in baking, thus assuring their use in the properproportions.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the lnvention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within thescope of whatis claimed, withoutde parting from the spirit of theinvention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown. In said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of thedevice. a

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof. Referring to'the figures bycharacters of reference 1 designates the flat bottom of the measure, thesame being provided with an upwardly extending inclinedback wall 2, towhich is attached a handle 3 of any desired configuration. The measuringdevice has side walls 4 preferably triangular as back 2 and interposedbetween these side walls is a partition 5 likewise connecting the bottoml to the back 2 and of the same contour as the walls 4. In practice itis prewalls.

ferred to so arrange the partition as to divide the measuring deviceintotwo compartments, compartment 6 being half the size of compartment'4'.

Either of these compartments can be filled with an'ingredien t to beused and the material can be leveled off readily along the straightupper edges of the walls of the compartments. If preferred bothcompartments can be filled with the same kind of material and leveledoif. ,Thus, as will be apparent, three positive measurements can beobtained with the one device.

' The measurer can, of course, be made of different sizes and,'ifdesired, the partition 'can be located so as to make the proportionateareas of the two compartmentsdifferent from what has been shown anddescribed.

7 What is claimed is:

1. A measuring device including a scoop having a longitudinal partitionparallel with the sides of the coop, the top edges of the sides andpartitions being disposed in the same plane.

2. A measuring device including a bottom plate having an upstandingback. wall and side walls connecting the bottom and back wall, and apartition connecting the bottom and back wall and interposed between theside walls, said partition being parallel with the side walls andhavingits upper edge in the same plane with the upper edges of the sidewalls, said partition and walls cooperating to provide compartments ofdifferent capacities.

' S. A measurlng device including a bottom plate, an upstanding backwall, side walls connecting the bottom plate to the back wall and havingstraight upper edges extending from the top of the back wall to thefront edge of the bottom plate, a. partition connecting the bottom plateand the back wall and dividing the device into separate compa tments ofdifferent capacities, said partition having its top edge in the sameplane with the corresponding edges ofthe slde OLLIE E.
